Access room variable before joining it

[tortenazor]

Hi,

I seem not to be able to access a room's variables before joining in. I understand this is meant to minimize traffic. But I was wondering if there was any way to do it, maybe some flag I missed to have rooms broadcast variables to all the zone instead of only to joined users.

Thanks

when you created a sfsroomvariable to be set on a room, just do

Code: Select all

 newvariable.setGlobal(true)

When a RoomVariable is set to global all changes will be broadcast not only to the Users in the Room but also to all other Users in the same Room Group .

note, users who want to see this variable from outside will have to subscribe to the room group of this room.

Hi,

you cannot do this on client side, you have code on server-side(Java) to achieve this,

please check the server-side java docs,

Hi,
I'm using AS3 and I have a same problem. I have to get playerlist of any rooms shown to any user who hasn't join a room. I tried to access the room playerlist, but it can't be accessed by users outside the room. So then I tried using room variables to do the list. But, it's just the same. Can't be accessed by users outside the room.

So, how do we get the list?
Or at least tell us, is there any other way to access the room variable or playerlist property without joining it?
ps. I created the rooms from client side.


Please reply
Regards

Hi,

again you cannot do that on client side because client cannot see outside of his room so as cannot access anything before joining the room, you have code on server side to do that, make a extension and return list of rooms or players in it and call that extension whenever you want ...

How to do it?
Can you give me some examples? I've never used Java before, so it's still kinda confusing. And how to get it from client side (AS3) ?


Thanks before
